These space heaters are sometimes $100 or even $200, but they are extremely effective for large areas
I’ve never been that impressed by advanced technology or new inventions. I was raised by a family of old school people who lived in the rural countryside, and worked on farms for generations. The rule was if something wasn’t broken, you don’t replace it. Instead, you find a way to fix it, and if you can’t, only then do you buy something new to replace something old. This was their mindset especially with tractors. Nowadays tractors are built with computers inside of them much like automobiles and the companies that manufacture them want all of the repair work to be done by their own company’s techs. They don’t want you working on your own equipment or modifying it. This further removes the freedom that you would normally have being a farmer in this country. You’re completely tied to whatever company that you use for your heavy equipment. However, I will make an exception about technology when it comes to things like space heaters for instance. Recently, I discovered that there are these infrared style space heaters that are made to look like actual fireplaces. They have the visual effect down and everything and they provide nice amazing heat in a circular pattern all the way around the base of the machine. These space heaters are sometimes $100 or even $200, but they are extremely effective for large areas. And people think it’s a real fireplace. They honestly asked me if I have a gas fireplace or if it’s a wood fireplace. That’s when I have to tell them that it’s just a fancy space heater.
